Just to make thinks easier to others: PDF chapter: http://www.richinternetapps.com/archives/AS2_DesignPatterns_for_RIA.pdf

Just to back up Alex's excellent email 
here.....
 
When Cairngorm used to be used for Flash-based RIA we would 
use Flash Remoting, Open AMF, etc with success.  If you do a search on www.richinternetapps.com (or search 
my previous emails on Flexcoders) you'll find a reference to the ActionScript 
2.0 Dictionary where Alistair McLeod and I posted an email link to the PDF 
chapter we wrote about this.
 
Back in those days, the ServiceLocator was an ActionScript 
class, that handled all the complexities associated with creating 
NetConnections/etc that you assume responsibility for when descending to the 
detail of Flash Remoting.
 
When working with Flex-based RIA, it's typical to ascend 
the foodchain towards RemoteObejct, WebService and HTTPService (though not 
necessary) and so we made the decision in Cairngorm that the ServiceLocator be 
an MXML implementation, that could allow Flex to do all the heavy-lifting with 
the RPC Service tags.  That way, we didn't have to worry ourselves anymore 
with NetConnections, and Java object serialisations/etc.
 
However, if you want to use AMFPHP, you can do what many 
others have done, you can ensure that your ActionScript service locator is able 
to return these services.  You want to hide all the details of service 
creation and lookup in the ServiceLocator so that your business delegate is 
immune to the implementation.
 
I know others have done this already ... but if you can 
share your solution with us, we can ensure that others can leverage from your 
findings.
 
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to 
ask.
 
Best,
 
Steven

  Hi William,
   
  usually, you would define the AMFPHP interface in 
  Services.mxml, retrieve it via ServiceLocator from your Delegate. But 
  ServiceLocator can only return you either mx.rpc.AbstractService or 
  mx.rpc.http.HTTPService (for Flex2 's out of the box RPC services). However 
  you could create the AMFPHP specific details in your Delegate. But better 
  would be to add a method to Cairngorm's ServiceLocator that either returns a 
  generic object or an object compatible to AMFPHP (RemotingConnection 
  or NetConnection). Let me know how you get on.
   
  Best,
  Alex

  Hello guys, 
  
   
  Did someone try to use Cairngom 
  (architectural framework for flex) with 
  AMFPHP ?
   
  I ask because I don't see clearly (in the sample 
  Cairngorm Login) how to change LoginDelegate and Services.mxml to use it with 
  AMFPHP… (for exemple where to introduce the RemotingConnection of Tweenpix 
  (
http://www.tweenpix.net/blog/index.php?2006/01/03/543-hello-world-en-amfphp-avec-flex20 
  ))
   
  If you tried one time, coud you explain us 
  please.
   
  Thank you, 
   
  William.
